Just saw that you've got the Fujiyama knives in blue #2!Any idea if there will be a 180mm Nakiri? That would just make my day. Got the 240 Fuji gyuto in white 2 about a month ago and it really blew me away. And now I'm looking for something to put on my knife strip between the gyuto and 150 petty and i want to try out some blue.

how much would a 240 (230)mm w/ reg handle be?(sorry to get off topic)

JP <> "Ginsanko" is a name for a highly revered stainless steel. "Fujiyama," in this context, is a line of Konosuke knives that are made by a particular bladesmith. This line is offered in your choice white steels and just recently in blue #2.

I ment if the konsouke ginsanko was under the fujiyama category. Ill assume its not though.

MARK <> ...will work for discounts. My black and white perspective may not be well liked here, but I thrive on fact & only strive to help. Twenty plus years in the fire will leave you a bit... salty.

JP <> Again, and I know there is no voice inflection amid text, but Ginsanko is a type of steel. The Fujiyama line of Konosuke knives are offered in White #1, #2, & Blue #2 steels.

Furthermore, you asked how much a 240 would be. A 240 what (i.e., gyuto, usuba, yanagi, etc.)? I gave you the link to the Fujiyama series for pricing, but if you are looking for a 240mm Wa-Gyuto of Ginsanko steel, is there something you dislike about the http://www.chefknivestogo.com/kowasi24ho.html . It's currently in stock... for now. I don't buy knives on aesthetics, but look at that hamon just below the shinogi! And I wouldn't guarantee you get that pictured ferrule for sure, but that package is just hot!

I had suggested you contact Mark about a custom fabrication because if you must have a knife fabricated by the Fujiyama blacksmith, maybe said blacksmith will work with the stainless steel on a one-off custom basis. I will add, I have heard that particular gentleman is pretty overwhelmed with production right now, but you never know until you ask...
